"What's wrong?" Ito Sei, who didn't know what was going on, used telepathy to send his doubts to his cousin Chen Xichen. Chen Xichen's eyes widened in surprise when she heard the voice in her heart. "You don't have to speak, just say it in your heart. I can hear it."
"Where have you been for the past two days?" Chen Xichen asked, knowing that it was not the time to be surprised. Before Sei Itō could answer, she continued, "Grandpa was very angry with you for leaving without saying goodbye! Luckily, I thought you had something urgent to do and asked me to pass on your message. Don't let the cat out of the bag when you speak later. "
"Got it," Sei Itō replied in his heart.
Telepathy was extremely fast. Only three to four seconds had passed in the outside world before the two of them finished their conversation.
"Xicheng, you're back," Liu Xiaohua greeted him with a smile. "How was it? Are you done with your business? Do you need any help from your uncle? "
"It's just a small problem. I just need to explain it clearly. There's no need to go through so much trouble," Sei Itō answered with a smile as he walked into the house.
"I see." Liu Xiaohua said with a look of realization. She then asked, "You won't be leaving for the next two days, right?"
"Yes, if there's nothing else, I probably won't be leaving until the fifth day of Chinese New Year," Sei Itō replied.
"That's good, that's good," Liu Xiaohua said with a smile.
Sei Itō left the United Kingdom at around ten in the morning. According to the time difference, it was around seventeen in the afternoon in Beijing, which was the time when most people would have dinner. However, the Chen family had a deputy director who was not very powerful. Although he did not have much power, he had been busy for the past few days before and after the Chinese New Year. Therefore, dinner time was naturally delayed and they only started preparing now. After chatting with Sei Itō for a while, Liu Xiaohua turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the family.
"Brother, what have you been doing these past two days?" After Liu Xiaohua left, Chen Xichen quickly sat beside Sei Itō and asked curiously in a low voice. Then, without waiting for Sei Itō to answer, she continued to guess, "Is it like what is described in TV dramas and novels? Did you go out to help people subdue demons? "
"What nonsense are you thinking about in that little head of yours?" Sei Itō raised his hand and patted Chen Xichen's forehead. "Besides, even if I want to subdue demons and devils, I need demons and devils to subdue me first."
"Are those all fake?" Chen Xichen asked in disbelief.
"It's true that it's fake, but times have changed. Demons and ghosts keep pace with the times and don't talk about strategy at all. Those that come out to do evil are all cannon fodder that will be destroyed in a few days. They won't be able to do much. " Since Chen Xichen asked, Sei Itō explained simply to let her understand, so that she wouldn't be in danger because of her curiosity.
"That's why the demons that are still alive are all smart demons. They're not people that can be easily attacked."
"Is that so …" Chen Xichen nodded thoughtfully.
"Brother. Can you bring me to see a real demon? "After four to five seconds of silence, Chen Xichen looked expectantly at Sei Itō and asked.
Sei Itō frowned. He didn't want Chen Xichen to come into contact with these things, but since Chen Xichen had asked, it wouldn't be good if he didn't bring her. She might be in danger because of her curiosity. Rather than that, it would be better to fulfill her wish and let Chen Xichen get rid of her curiosity. She could just continue being an ordinary girl.
"Okay. I hope you can handle it when the time comes. "Sei Itō glanced at Chen Xichen and said.
"Heh, heh, heh …" Hearing Ito Mori's words, Chen Xichen couldn't help but recall the horror movies she had watched with her classmates and friends since she was young. Her face was slightly pale as she laughed dryly. At the same time, she regretted bringing up the idea of meeting the Fiendish Demon. However, because of her curiosity and competitiveness, she didn't say 'I'm not going' out loud.
But even so, Chen Xichen didn't have the mood to talk anymore. She absentmindedly watched the program on the television.
Seeing this, Sei Itō smiled and took out the mission center that connected to the Bounty Union's website and logged in. He posted a request to buy "The Book of Law", "Equinox", and "Magic- Theory and Practice", three books written by Alesta Crowley.
Among them, "The Book of Law" was known as the Book of Curses. Every time it was published, it would cause a worldwide war. Even the editor who wrote this book died of illness after the war.
"Equinox" was a book that almost destroyed most of the secret societies. It completely revealed all kinds of secret magic rituals and specific methods of operation! It must be known that the magic societies relied on these secrets to survive for so long. Perhaps it was due to pressure from the higher-ups of the Magic Society (at that time, many well-known people joined secret societies), or other reasons, the book was only published in ten volumes in the five years from 1909 to 1913. After that, it was completely discontinued, and it had not been republished to this day.
The last book, "Magic- Theory and Practice", was Alesta Crowley's most basic and normal book. It explained in detail what magic was, how to learn magic, and how to use magic. Especially the description of some content, it even used scientific theories that were just emerging at that time to explain.
It was because of this book that modern magic began to gradually break away from the shackles of rituals. It made the passing of magic simpler and faster. It also prompted the mages to think about magic, which led to the development of modern magic and the formation of today's magic system.
However, although this book was normal, perhaps because it was related to Alesta Crowley, or because the storm of ideas it caused was too strong, Sei Itō couldn't find this book in the apprentice-level, official, and one-star mage sections of the Great Merlin Library. Perhaps he needed a higher mage certification to see this book.
However, using less than half a year to break through the apprentice-level and become an official mage was considered an outstanding talent. It didn't even wait. Directly breaking through one-star, two-star, and even approaching three-star was too eye-catching. Sei Itō didn't want to expose himself to the higher-ups of the Demonic Realm, who were guarded by legendary mages, so he could only use the bounty union's website to ask for the book's true appearance.
After posting the mission, Sei Itō browsed through the missions available to him at his current level. He also checked if there were any missions related to exorcism and exorcism. Then, he closed the mission terminal in his hand and put it away.
"What were you doing just now?" Sei Itō put away the mission terminal. Chen Xichen couldn't help but ask.
"Looking for some information," Sei Itō explained with a smile.
"Oh." Chen Xichen, who didn't believe his explanation, pursed her lips and responded casually.
"Dad, dinner is ready. Come out and eat." Half an hour later, Auntie Liu Xiaohua walked to Elder Chen's room and greeted him. Then, she turned to Sei Itō and Chen Xichen and said, "Xicheng, Xichen. It's time to eat. "
"Where's my dad?" Chen Xichen stood up from the sofa and asked.
"Your dad just called. He said he had to go down to the station to check on the employees. He won't be back for dinner," Liu Xiaohua explained to Chen Xichen as she walked to the table.
"You're back," Elder Chen, who walked out of the room, looked at Sei Itō and said lightly.
"Mhm," Sei Itō responded politely.
Elder Chen didn't say anything and walked to the main seat at the table. He sat down with Sei Itō, Chen Xichen, and Liu Xiaohua, who sat down after him, and began to enjoy dinner together.
The atmosphere during the meal was rather dull. Although Auntie Liu Xiaohua tried to make conversation to ease the atmosphere, under the influence of the silent Elder Chen, it was to no avail. She could only awkwardly finish her dinner.
After dinner, Sei Itō suddenly gave Chen Xichen a look and walked to the door.
"Mom, I'm going out with brother for a bit." Chen Xichen paused for a moment, then immediately understood. She quickly walked to the door. She shouted at Liu Xiaohua, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen.
"Got it. Remember to come back early, "Liu Xiaohua's voice came from the kitchen.
"Got it," Chen Xichen replied as she put on her white fur-collared down jacket.
"Clack ~ Bang!" Accompanied by two sounds, Sei Itō and Chen Xichen, who was wearing black pants, a white fur-collared down jacket, and white thermal boots, left the house together. Her long black hair was casually tied into a ponytail.
"Don't we need to prepare anything?" Chen Xichen asked nervously as she looked at Sei Itō in front of her.
"No need, I'm just bringing you to see what the Magical Beasts look like, not to fight," Sei Itō replied without turning his head.
"Oh," Chen Xichen felt relieved when she heard that they were not going to fight. Then he silently followed behind Ito Sei and walked out of the door of his house with him. They walked towards the corner of the neighborhood.
"Where are we going?" Chen Xichen, who had no idea what they were going to do, asked once again.
"Okay, here it is," Sei Itō said as he stopped at a dark corner of the neighborhood and looked around. He then called out to Chen Xichen, who looked nervous and scared, "Come here, grab my arm."
"Oh," Chen Xichen obeyed and walked to Sei Itō's side as she grabbed onto Sei Itō's arm tightly.
Seeing Chen Xichen grab onto Sei Itō's arm, Sei Itō looked around again. After confirming that there were no National Security Agency personnel around, Sei Itō made a hand seal under Chen Xichen's gaze and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. He and Chen Xichen disappeared from the corner of the neighborhood and appeared at the outskirts of Kyoto, Japan, which had turned into a Magical Beast Kingdom.
"Blergh …" As soon as they appeared, Chen Xichen, who couldn't stand the spatial shift, retched with a pale face.
"Where is this?" Sei Itō's palm that was placed on her back was comforting her with energy. Chen Xichen, whose face had regained some color, looked around curiously and asked.
"Kyoto, Japan!" Sei Itō said calmly.
"Japan, Japan? You're saying that I'm in Japan right now? "Chen Xichen turned her head to look at Sei Itō and asked in shock.
"Yes," Sei Itō confirmed. Then, without waiting for Chen Xichen to ask any more questions, he said, "Follow me, I'll take you to see a real Magical Beast."
After saying that, he strode forward. Chen Xichen's heart tightened when she heard that. She couldn't care less about why she suddenly came to Japan. She quickly caught up with Sei Itō and followed him step by step into the distance.
The two of them were now in the suburbs of Kyoto, surrounded by a well-protected forest. In the country of Magical Beasts, there were no modern products or lights. There were only a few flames in Kyoto, making it seem eerily quiet. Other than the special item that Sei Itō left in her body, Chen Xichen, who was just a normal person, was extremely nervous and scared. She subconsciously reached out to grab Sei Itō's arm and leaned her body towards him.
Just like that, under Sei Itō's lead, the two of them walked towards the source of the flames.
"Ahahahaha." Just as the two of them were about to reach the source of the flames, a strange, owl-like laughter suddenly came. Chen Xichen was so scared that she quickly curled up in Sei Itō's arms and closed her eyes, not daring to look at anything.
"That's great! That's great! I didn't think that after so long, I would be able to eat human liver again! "The voice said loudly again.
"Ah!" As soon as the voice finished speaking, a piercing scream echoed in the night sky. Chen Xichen was so scared that her body trembled again. She hugged Sei Itō's body tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, let's, let's, go back, I don't want to see anymore."
"Are you sure?" Sei Itō, who was holding Chen Xichen's waist with one hand, asked softly.
"Yes, let's go," Chen Xichen's head moved up and down on Sei Itō's chest as she said.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't come into contact with things like Magical Beasts in the future, okay?" Sei Itō's voice was filled with determination.
"Who the hell would want to come into contact with things like that!" Chen Xichen said urgently with a pale face.
"Okay, let's go home." Sei Itō nodded and turned his head to look at the source of the chewing sounds and screams. He activated the Flying Thunder God and returned to the corner of the district with Chen Xichen.
